📢 #EdWorkingPapers: Do RCTs in higher ed risk contamination? From a large in-person college course intervention, @catherinematah.bsky.social, @katharinemeyer.bsky.social & @linzpage.bsky.social show when individual-level randomization is preferred 📄 Full paper here: edworkingpapers.com/ai24-1083

"Since 2007, (IES) has published 30 practice guides. They cover topics such as teaching fractions, improving reading and reducing high school dropout rates. These guides synthesize the best available evidence, rather than relying on one study, leader or political ideology."

Honored to be one of the recipients of the 2025 Brown Postdoctoral Excellence Awards! Huge thanks to Brown Postdoctoral Affairs for this recognition and to @linzpage.bsky.social and the Annenberg Institute for their support in advancing my research! ¡Seguimos! postdocs.brown.edu/news/2025-02...

In this op-ed, we - the presidents of SREE and AEFP - joined forces to argue for the importance of evidence on "what works" and how cutting such funding is not "efficient" - it is wasteful. www.brookings.edu/articles/cut...

Why we have and need a US Department of Education 🚨 New from @brookings.edu scholars, an initiative to walk through the federal role in education, particularly the ongoing need for a Department of Education and all it does www.brookings.edu/collection/w...

Great piece on the important studies killed off at IES Incredibly shortsighted behavior open.substack.com/pub/goodscie...

I've been working (w/Lindsay Page and @catherinematah.bsky.social) on projects using chatbots in higher education for the past few years. There are many promising uses for AI in supporting students through complicated college processes - and many important guardrails to include when you do that!

Researchers typically assume that student-level randomization in college classrooms will bias treatment effects toward zero, due to spillovers Randomizing across classrooms minimizes spillovers but hugely reduces power V cool study provides guidance on tradeoff edworkingpapers.com/sites/defaul...

🚨New Working Paper🚨 Testing two randomization strategies in a large-enrollment, in-person college course we found minimal crossover contamination risk with individual-level randomization @katharinemeyer.bsky.social Check out the full report available here: edworkingpapers.com/ai24-1083

I was incredibly honored to be awarded the CSWEP Carolyn Shaw Bell Award. When I accepted the award, I talked about the importance of mentoring. The lessons I pass on are kind of obvious. But they are important, so I am going to share them yet again. (A🧵)
